Shaping Young Minds
As a preschool teacher, Jill recognizes the importance of helping children build and recognize healthy relationships, as many educational programs typically begin to address these topics much later in a child's education.

Amy's Kisses hosted a special event at the Newtown Bookshop, inviting teachers to learn about the program and its mission. Watch the video to discover how A Bowl Full of Hearts is being used to teach students about healthy relationships.
One Love's 10 Signs of a Healthy Relationship
​The 10 Signs of a Healthy Relationship were developed by the One Love Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending relationship abuse.
As One Love explains, "Healthy relationships bring out the best in you and make you feel good about yourself. A healthy relationship does not mean a “perfect” relationship, and no one is healthy 100% of the time, but the signs below are behaviors you should strive for in all of your relationships."
Patnerships
Amy’s Kisses has partnered with A Woman's Place, Bucks County's only domestic violence agency, to incorporate A Bowl Full of Hearts into their community education program.
​
Community Educators from A Woman's Place visit schools across Bucks County to host interactive storytime sessions with students.
Amy's Kisses provides a free hardcover for the classroom to encourage continued learning.

"Importance of teaching children about healthy relationships"
This book is such a great read for all children, especially younger kiddos. As a social worker, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of this book in teaching children about healthy relationships. It’s important to teach these lessons as early as possible, and this book does a tremendous job in educating young children in a way that’s clear, accessible, and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
